The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a good position to sign Gerald McCoy to a long-term deal.

The Buccaneers don't have anyone to whom they still owe big chunks of money. They have about $30M in cap space next season and roughly $58M for 2016 projections, sources said, and have almost no players with big signing bonuses, either.

McCoy has become the face of the Buccaneers franchise.

Talks remain ongoing and progress is being made, sources said. McCoy counts $15M against this year's cap (he makes $13M this season and Suh makes $12.6M), so his franchise tag would be more manageable.
